Today was our last day in the Huon Valley, and we thought we would venture a little further south to the town of Geeveson, and onto the Tahune Air Walk.
We came to the air walk when we were first here in 2005 what we didn’t know in the 20 years since was there have been a number of floods ( in 2007, 2009 and 2016 )and a major bushfire in January 2019. The fire destroyed nearly 64,000 hectares of the forest and the air walk itself was lucky to survive. Another report from the ABC here
It took arborists and engineers over 12 months to make sure everything was safe and usable again.
The air walk loop takes about an hour and has over 100 steps to get to the metal walk itself. M is not worried about heights much at all anymore. I was going OK until the very end at the cantilever section. I did go out but not for long. THEN. I noticed the cable 😱 Can you see the cable on the right wobbling about?
It was a good walk though with fantastic views above the forest and Huon River
Needless to say when we got back to the visitor center, we were ready for lunch😀😀.
We had seen a really nice café just about across the road from the unit we’re staying in so we made our way back there and had delicious Turkish Borek pastries. We bought one with zucchini and halloumi and one with spinach and feta cut them in half and shared both.
They were topped with yoghurt and then warm paprika butter.

The flavour combination was so good. We are definitely going to be making that at home we decided it would be so nice on lamb chops.
The sky started clouding over in the afternoon, so we just spent it in the unit getting packed up ready to go back to Hobart tomorrow.
